Great Expectations Child Care, Reston

Lisa is a loving daycare provider. Her staff is caring. my son loves coming every day. She continually improves her facilities. My son loves playing outside at daycare.

Ms. Lisa is very loving & knows how to deal with infants/children very well. Although my daughter is not of age to talk oh, I know she loves Ms Lisa by their interactions. She smiles every time she sees her. As a first time mom, she has helped my husband & I with creating schedules & reaching milestones. They keep a cool, clean facility. I'm very pleased being a parent that wishes my baby could stay home.

We used Ms. Lisa's daycare for a number of years and overall were extremely happy with her. Our kids loved going there and learned a lot. I would recommend Great Expectations to any parent!

While we have only been with Miss Lisa and her team for a little over a month, I am confident that we made the right decision in choosing her child care business for our one-year-old. All of her staff are lovely and professional. There is a clear love and care shown for each child - and that makes me feel comfortable as a working parent. Children are given ample time outdoors each day to enjoy fresh air, sunshine, and exercise - along with wholesome, home-cooked meals and snacks. The indoor environment, while a bit older, is well-maintained and care has clearly gone into choosing toys and activities to engage all levels and abilities.

My son has been attending Great Expectations Childcare since he was 3 months old (now 2 years old). Lisa truly loves the children like they are her own, which is why we have continued to go to Great Expectations. She provides a welcoming, nurturing, loving environment for children, and she knows that each child needs are different and does her best to cater to the needs of each child. We have gone through a variety of development milestones over the last 2 years, and Lisa's patience and guidance through each stage has been very helpful. My son recently transition to the "older kid" side, and he's learning so much from Ms. Azam. Ms. Azam's hands-on, creative approach has been really well-received by my son, and each day he takes me on a tour of what he's done when I come to pick him up. Ms. Azam and Ms. Lisa also took great care to transition my son to the "older" side slowly, and I really appreciated the care, patience, and understanding they showed in knowing that it would be a big change. It's paid off! My son talks about his teachers and his friends constantly, and he is always excited to go to daycare--and sometimes doesn't want to leave! While it's always hard to leave him in the mornings, it's much easier knowing he's in a loving environment where he thrives and has so much fun.

This place is wonderful for kids to grow and develop. It is clean, the staff are amazing,and they meet the needs of every child as individuals and always treat them with love and respect. My daughter is been going there for past 2 years, never had single issue with them. My daughter loves to be there. As a mother I left my child every morning knowing, without a doubt, that she will be well fed, well taken care of, well loved, and have fun. I believe that my kid grew and developed in positive ways in great part because of her time at Lisa day care.

Our little girl started going to Great Expextations at 3 months old. She lights up with smiles and giggles at Lisa, all the teachers and the other children. Knowing that Emma is happy and that I am leaving her with people who love her like she's family and help with her daily development is a wonderful feeling. I never worry while I'm at work and that is a great bonus. We are very luck to have found Lisa and Great Expectations!!

This is a very heartfelt daycare with kids of all ages. My baby felt loved.

When people ask me about my daycare I always tell them how blessed I am to have found Miss Lisa. I couldn’t ask for a more loving place for our sons to be while we are working. Jack (3 1/2) and Luke (18 months) have been coming to Lisa’s since they were each 11 weeks old. They’re greeted with hugs and kisses when they arrive each morning. I love seeing Jack eager to get in the door so he can be with his friends. Some mornings I have to catch him so I can have a goodbye kiss! And Luke is all smiles when we come in the door. He loves Miss Lisa and lunges for her when we come in. There is a daily routine at Lisa’s. Meals, play-time, naps, and learning are on the schedule each day. The children play outside regularly. Lisa has a great fenced yard with play equipment for all ages and there is plenty of room to run around. The meals are homemade and healthy. Both of my boys are great eaters and I credit that to the food they’re exposed to at Lisa’s. They are also always learning. As babies Lisa works with them on sitting up, walking, and learning to use a sippy cup. Jack was walking at 11 months and Luke was walking at 12 months. As they get older they work on letters, numbers, coloring and writing. Jack is always bringing home his “homework” – pages of coloring and tracing letters – and crafts he’s done. I love seeing the pride on his face as he tells me about them! Everyday I’m amazed at what happy, loving, smart boys I have and I know so much of that has to do with the love they receive at Lisa’s. They are family to Lisa and she is family to us. To anyone looking for a place where their child will be loved, will grow and learn, and will flourish I recommend Lisa’s daycare. Kim Dobbin
